Never in the history of this Republic has a president made such a blatant political move which jeopardizes national security to such extent. LGB!

How much have they lowered?? I haven’t filled up in almost 2 weeks and I’m too mortified to look at the prices as I drive past a station, so I honestly don’t know…

Wait until the effects of the west decoupling from the east flow through consumer prices for the next several years

Gas has dropped anywhere from 8¢ to 10¢ in my neck of the woods. My vote costs more than that, potato.

The strategic reserve only holds enough oil to “run” America for 15 days or so. He released oil we paid for at 40$ a barrel to replace at 100$ plus a barrel. Why not just pump domestic oil at 100$ a barrel, which will create jobs and lower prices for slinger period of time.

Did it? Oil traders panicked over a month ago with sanctions on Russia. Flow of Russian crude has not slowed

It does not jeopardize national security. The US could pivot on a dime and produce far more oil than we can refine and use. This was an obvious great move that Trump would have been the first to do; it mitigates a painful phenomenon, and we get to sell high and buy low.

Then instead of using up our strategic reserve, why aren’t we doing it?
I swear, you consistently have some of the worst takes on every board you frequent.

It's been around $3.90-something here in BR.
There are a couple of problems...
1. We will be switching over to summer blends soon and they are more expensive to make (as much as .15 extra per gallon).
2. We will be getting into the peak driving season (Spring/Summer) within the next month or two.
Right now Biden is releasing ~1M barrels per day for the next ~180 days. The higher demand and higher prices for summer driving are going to push gasoline back to where it was pre-Reserve, probably higher. With his dumb arse he'll probably push to increase the amount taken from the reserve.
The problem there is that's a finite amount, it will need to be replenished eventually and he has no plans to actually fix the issue. This whole event is an attempt to just "wait out" the price increase and hope the market rebalances before he has to drain the reserve completely.
